'''Lonely Light''' is one of the main isles of the [[The Iron Islands|Iron Islands]].

==Geography and Background==

Far to the northwest of the Iron Islands, beyond the  shores of Great Wyk and past scattered islets barely large enough to hold a single hearth, rises Lonely Light. It stands upon the largest of a remote cluster of barren rocks scattered amidst the endless grey expanse of the Sunset Sea. The voyage from Great Wyk takes eight days by sail, through waters frequented by seals, sea lions, and spotted whales and great walruses. <ref name="IronIslands">George R. R. Martin, ''The World of Ice and Fire'', (London: HarperVoyager, 2014) pp. 175-178</ref>

Atop the rocky isle stands the lone keep of [[House Farwynd of Lonely Light]], crowned by a great beacon fire that burns without ceasing. It is from this light that the isle takes its name, serving as both a guide and a warning to those who dare the far western seas. Beyond Lonely Light lie no charted lands, only the unending grey horizon. <ref name="IronIslands">George R. R. Martin, ''The World of Ice and Fire'', (London: HarperVoyager, 2014) pp. 175-178</ref>

The Farwynds of Lonely Light are a queer folk, even by the measure of the ironborn. It is said that they are skinchangers who take the forms of sea lions, walruses, or even whales that haunt the deeps. Darker tales claim that they consort with seals to birth half-human children. <ref name="LonelyLight">George R. R.

From the Lonely Light’s beacon, many bold captains have launched westward, lured by tales of lands beyond the sea. Few return, and those who do speak only of endless waters beneath an empty sky. <ref name="IronIslands">George R. R.
